Merlin -- YIS!!

Re tonight's debut episode of Merlin I would like to give it a massive thumbs up. I really enjoyed it. Anthony Head and Eve Myles were great and I loved the young lad playing Merlin (Colin Morgan apparently).

But tell me this, did any one else pick up slashy Arthur/Merlin vibes??? Please tell me it's not just me! Please tell me they'll be fic! And icons! And a comm!

OH YES, the slash came through loud and clear! All that walking around on your knees banter, and a single blow...my mind was in the fucking gutter the whole way through.

They reminded me of Harry and Draco really bad.

Oh thank god it wasn't just me!! I giggled when Anthony Head said 'Manservant'. Oh, and Arthur saying there was just something about Merlin? Well, that was so slashy and then he said 'But I can't quite put my finger on it,' and that pushed me over the edge. Hee!

They reminded me of Harry and Draco really bad.

YIS! Me too! That's probably why I'm still quivering with excitement.

Lol. I dabbled in Harry/Draco for a while. My first proper slash, ah memories.

And it was the expression on his face when he said it that did it for me. Holy eyefuck.

LOL! H/D is a fine place to start! HP was my main fandom before TW.

Agreed! Very agreed! Lots of agreeing! Ohyesyesyes!

Wasn't it GOOD?! Great acting, great SFX and such slashy undertones I practically cheered. *g* The lad playing Merlin was very good. I haven't seen him before but he carried the ep really well. Lovely to see Richard Wilson and Anthony Head and Eve Myles. Loved it! Saturday nights are looking well good, with that and Strictly.

It was brilliant! I had a funny feeling it would be good and I'd end up following it all the way through, but I had no idea there would be slashy goodness too!

I loved sweet Merlin. I'm sure I've seen him before but I can't place him.

I won't be missing an ep! I'm just wondering how long it'll be before the slash!fic starts turning up. *g*

I've tracked down Colin Morgan. He was Jethro in the DW ep, Midnight! YAY!

Hmmm well according to [livejournal.com profile] darlas_mom just below there... It won't be on here til January... Bummer! Why it gotta be all different? Oh well I'll definately try to remember to post about it when we get it!

[identity profile] darlas-mom.livejournal.com 2008-09-20 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
We'll be getting it on NBC in January. :-)

Don't mind me, just surfing through and stumbled on this while desperately looking for caps and stuff of tonight's ep because I am incredibly eager for this show.

In Jan?! That's a long time to wait. downloading sounds like a much better option.

I'm eager for caps and icons too!!

Eek. Sorry, meant that for your friend. ::scrolls to reply to her comment instead:: However, if you're interested, I wrote an in-depth review of the episode. (I feel weird saying that--just, y'know...I don't have any "Merlin" friends and this is my awkward attempt to make one. ;-))

No worries!

Your review was great. Really well thought-out and much better than my lame 'OMG, I LUV THIS SHOW!' post, LOL!

~friends you~ And I see we have several fandoms in common!

Ahhh okey-dokey. *Adds it to the list of others shows not showing up til mid-season*

Thank you for popping in with the info! My my you do seem eager for the show... ;) All I've really heard about it was that ASH was gonna be in it. But I've not really had time to go looking around online about it much either.

Sorry it took so long to reply! I was determined to figure out how to save it to a disc before DLing because I can't leave it on the computer.

But I got it figured out now! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! I'll let you know what I think of it when I watch it this weekend. That is if I'm not helping install gutters this weekend.

I didn't see the episode -- I'm going to watch the repeat tomorrow -- but I thought you might be interested in what the writer says in the Radio Times:

"Merlin and Arthur love and loathe each other... They have an 'odd couple' relationship."

I really hope you enjoy it! From what I understand the History is a bit twisted, but it's still lots of fun.


"Merlin and Arthur love and loathe each other... They have an 'odd couple' relationship."


LOL! Thanks for that! From the first ep, I reckon that's pretty much spot on.

[identity profile] ningloreth.livejournal.com 2008-09-21 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I loved it!

I thought Colin Morgan looked like an odd choice from the pictures in the Radio Times, but he's very charismatic, isn't he, and so is Arthur (and it's nice to see people with crooked teeth). I thought Anthony Head was very regal, and I loved seeing Richard Wilson playing a really warm character.

And the castle -- well it's all wrong, but it's about time we got to see somewhere clean.

Yay, I'm so pleased you liked it!

I thought Colin Morgan looked like an odd choice from the pictures in the Radio Times, but he's very charismatic, isn't he?

I thought exactly the same! As soon as he opened his mouth I thought ooh, I'm going to like this guy. For me, there was no down point at all. Well, maybe apart from Eve Myles only having a part in that one episode.

I really hope this series does well.

I just found out about this show when I logged on this morning and eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I've not seen it yet but I'm pretty sure I'll be obsessed in no time. :D

OMG, I think you'll love it! It screams of Harry/Draco -- the love and the hate, the snark, the rich boy and the poor. I'm so sqeey over it!
